Generally speaking, we add epel with specific packages to ovirt-release*.rpm, and do not support all of epel. In practice, the only problem I personally know of is with epel packages that also exist in other ovirt-release* repos, perhaps in different versions. A recent example we bumped into: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/71386 ovirt-live uses its own set of repos, and used all of epel, and epel has a newer version of collectd than in the opstools repo (which is what we use). But it doesn't have collectd-write_http. So jenkins failed: http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-live_4.1-create-iso/70/console
In particular for performance related packages such as bwm-ng iftop htop nethogs
Perhaps add them with includepkgs, to be on the safe side, and not all of epel. Best, -- Didi
